Hi Mark!

You could try following line of code

<script src="../../Scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>\
<script src="../../Scripts/jquery.maskedinput.js" type="text/javascript"></script>\
<script type="text/javascript">\
jQuery(function ($) {\
$("#date").mask("99/99/9999");\
});\
</script>

@Html.TextBox("date", null)

Note:\
"jquery-1.7.1.min.js" provided by MVC application\
"jquery.maskedinput.js" you can download from following link

[https://raw.github.com/digitalBush/jquery.maskedinput/1.3.1/dist/jquery.maskedinput.min.js](https://raw.github.com/digitalBush/jquery.maskedinput/1.3.1/dist/jquery.maskedinput.min.js)
